Despite the enormous success globally of Google Chromehis team of developers continues to work tirelessly to improve this browser and among the newcomers arriving could also be one that concerns safety.
The manual insertion of the passwords is a rather annoying activity and this is the reason why many use automatic compilation services to save time: in these cases, for greater safety it is advisable to request biometric authentication before automatic filling of passwords (in order to prevent the device in the event of access to all their accounts).
At the moment Google Chrome on Android automatically compiles passwords without any form of authentication but this situation seems to be destined to change shortly.

An important novelty arriving for Google Chrome
Those who use Google Password Manager may have noticed the option to enable biometric authentication before filling in passwords, by virtue of which the system is not authorized to automatically fill in passwords until the user’s identity is verified with the face or fingerprint. Unfortunately, this protection applies only to apps and does not work in browsers such as Google Chrome.
Well, it seems that the Mountain View giant has decided to overcome this limit and some users report that the option to enable biometric authentication before filling out the passwords has been replaced by a new option that allows you to check your identity to automatically fill in passwords and its description provides an interesting anticipation:
For greater protection, always use fingerprint, facial recognition or other screen lock when accessing automatic compilation (coming soon on Chrome)
In practice, Google Chrome will soon require fingerprint, facial recognition or screen lock for automatic password filling. We await official information from Google to find out when this novelty will actually be available and the details relating to its operation.
